Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the SanperaTM I foot controller for your VYPYR®
amplifier. We are certain you will enjoy having the control of your VYPYR at
your feet.
Note:
Your SanperaTM I is powered by your VYPYR® amplifier and requires the special 8-pin MIDI cable included
with your Sanpera in order to function correctly.
The Sanpera I operates in three modes, PRESET MODE, LOOPER MODE and BANK SELECT MODE. The functions of
buttons 1-4 will vary depending on which mode you are in.

PRESET MODE
When you first plug your Sanpera I into the amplifier (using the
provided 8 pin MIDI cable) the pedal will default to PRESET mode.
In this mode buttons 1-3 correspond with the three presets in the
current bank on your VYPYR® (1-4 on 1st generation Vypyrs).
Each button allows you to select one of the three presets within the
bank (which is a group of three presets) selected on the amplifier.
Remember, each VYPYR VIP I and VIP II has 12 onboard presets,
which are stored in four BANKS of three labeled A, B, C and D. To
change BANKS using your Sanpera I, please see BANK SELECT
mode. NOTE: Since the Vypyr VIP I and VIP II has the presets
in sets of 3, in PRESET MODE button 4 will be inoperable. This
selection was included to accommodate 1st generation Vypyr owners.

To record a loop for playback, simply start playing, and when you want to START recording the loop press this button and the amp
will begin recording the loop. When you want to STOP recording, press this button again and the looper will stop playing and auto-
matically begin to playback.
4 . Stop/Reset
To stop a loop in process, press this button. To erase the currently stored loop (recorded by pressing button 4) press and hold this button for 3
seconds. The LED above this button will be green if there is a loop currently being stored.
TIP: You can change amp presets after you have recorded your loop, allowing you to play a totally different

5. Main/AUX Indication LED
These LEDs indicate whether the pedal is in MAIN mode or AUX MODE. Depress the toe area of the expression pedal to switch
between modes. The default setting of the expression pedal is to control the volume of the amplifier. The Main LED indicates that the
expression pedal is set to VOLUME, and AUX indicates WAH unless the amplifier is set to PITCH SHIFT.
6. Expression Pedal
The default mode of the expression pedal is set to control the volume of the amplifier. When set to AUX this pedal controls a universal
Wah. To activate the Wah, simply depress the toe area of the footswitch. When Pitch Shift is selected on the amplifier, this pedal will
control the pitch of the signal.
CALIBRATION MODE:
Occasionally it may be necessary to re-calibrate your expression pedal. To enter CALIBRATION MODE hold button 4 and press but-
ton 1. Upon entering CALIBRATION mode the LED above button 1 will be green. This green LED indicates that you need to press
button 1 after each step of the calibration process. Button 4 will be RED upon entering CALIBRATION mode and allows you to skip
steps in the calibration process (normally not necessary). During the first step of the process the lower AUX LED will blink to prompt
you to pull the pedal back to its lowest position. With the pedal in its lowest position, press 1 for “next.” The MAIN LED will prompt
you to max the pedal to its highest position and press 1 again. Your pedal is now calibrated, turn your amplifier off and on to complete
the process.
